Wealthy Affiliate Blog Post Ranked #1 In Google
I am so excited to share this with you all, the gorgeous and handsome WA community.
This happened without intention.
I was searching for a wordpress plugin that could help one of our members who seemed struggle to verify her site with an affiliate program she just joined. I typed a random long phrase "plugin to put affiliate verification code" and to my surprise, the first site appeared No 1 was a blog post from WA!
Are you ready to see the post?
So here's the post. It's not mine, unfortunately.
How to add the google adsense verification code to your site!, which was created by Jeff
What's more impressive was that the post out-ranked an article on wordpress plugin which has been published on the net for months if not years. It simply shows it works.
What is my point?
There are few learning points I have taken from this and I want to share with you as well.
- If the blog post you have created has value, G will definitely index and rank it. If the targeted keyword missed the rank, other keywords within the same article may put that article to #1.
Morale of the story: Keyword research is super important but do not stress up yourself to find out one before start writing. Just write! - Writing blog post here in WA is never a time-waster. It creates a lot of benefits. It gives value to the community, it sharpens your writing skills. And...can you imagine if people found that article, clicked it to come here and joined the platform, you got all the credit. Bonus on spot!
So there is no issue whether you are earning $$ when blogging here in WA. It pays you in many other ways, better than money.
Read my recent post How You Could Earn Blogging In WA. :) - I believe G loves content with value regardless where it comes from, more so if it is from a trust site like Wealthy Affiliate. We are already here, in Wealthy Affiliate. Leverage the platform and build your brand through it.
- 'Write with intent' - remember this lesson? I believe when Jeff's wrote the blog post, he included a targeted keyword in the title and in the content. Again, it works.
So if you have not started blogging here in WA, you may want to start right away. :)
Have you started blogging here in WA!
So keep bloggin' guys..
Work Smarter Not Harder!

I knew that posts in WA can get a good ranking, but I haven't put enough effort into it yet.
Now thanks to this example, I will double my effort.
Good share.
Congratulations and what an awesome find. Blogging here really does get ranked.

It is Karen.
This is not the first time I saw a blog post get ranked #1 in G.
There was once, a question posted here get ranked as well.
It works!
Thank you for taking time to read.

Please please please correct me if I’m wrong... are you saying that no matter what our niche is, we should write more content on our blogs here in WA?
I would think it's preferably something to do with online business but you can relate to you and your business e.g. how you manage your site, writing content, etc.
That’s what I originally thought but I wanted to be absolutely sure. When you’re new here, you’re looking for all information you can get and learning about all the different avenues. If I get into that aspect of this site, I will keep that in mind.
Thanks for another great gold nugget of info!!
